James;
The paper was nitrated, and the bullet was rammed down the barrel paper and all. combustible pistol cartridges can be made with cigarette rolling papers since it is nitrated, and very handy since they have a gummed edge. Just don't lick them to moisten the edge since you are working with lead.
